    To make her work better, she needs to go to Tulsa OK, and help those who survived the riot in 1921. America owes this debt to black America.

    JUNETEENTH =2024 !!
    When you chain the neck of a slave
    The other end fastens to you.
    Your heart and soul become corrupt
    And all which is evil you’ll do.
    No government shall exist forever
    Who's people are not really free.
    Though around the world there are those
    Who stay blind to how life should be.
    Any who must enslave others
    Will dwell in their own living hell
    After death, they’ll join their master
    In that place from Heaven he fell.
    But till then we’ll fight and resist
    Making them put their chains away
    And those of us who may die first
    From Heaven shall watch and pray.
    Except for the selfish of Earth
    That, which is unjust, pleases none.
    I would rather die in exile
    Than be a victim on the run.
